I don't blame you for that, I really don't. I was happy yesterday as well. But we have been saying for the last 5 years the only thing that changes is when all 3 go, not just some of it.

Just my opinion. A team sale in the next 24 hours is what is needed. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took FOREVER to build up that team. Then he oversaw just an astonishingly bad rebuild where he recouped nothing of value from his talent and despite top draft budgets, big INTL budgets and room to develop the royals have one of the worst farms in baseball 6 years after the rebuild started. And a team that is worse than the sox. That's amazing...aMAZing to hire someone where you can squint and say "Hahn is probably better" Yep, great that they won a World Series but it took 8 years of sucking to get there and then just the stars aligning on an all time great bullpen coming together for that 2 year run to happen (and the 2014 was a pretty unremarkable team that just got insanely hot in the post-season).

T R U Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I believe that someone had to twist JR's arm to do this, something happened. If not, this would have been done months ago. You can't let these morons run your draft and your trade deadline and then fire them all a month later. This season was washed a long time ago, I don't believe JR woke up yesterday and was like "gee, were pretty bad maybe its time to make a change?" We've been really bad since April.

Nothing has happened in the past 24 days that is any worse than the past 24 months. there have been quite a few Sox spectacles over the last 3-4 weeks that have grabbed front page headlines yes you're right, JR has been an embarrassment but his poor decision making often gets lost in the minutiae, the average person doesn't see that. they do see headlines showing TA getting knocked out, or articles about a former Sox players kids getting kicked out of daycare, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was “Project Birmingham” a success and we just don’t know it? Everything sucks with the White Sox and we’re all tired of it. Yesterday I was excited and today I am disgusted! Typical Reinsdorf. What did I expect. Yep, looks like I am done with this organization!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseball_gal_aly Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) This feels like Jerry is channeling Rachel Phelps from Major League. Trying to alienate what is left of the fanbase before selling to a group that will move the team out of town.

Boopa1219 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 What has Getz accomplished? What has Dayton Moore accomplished? And Tony La Russa should be nowhere near the organization. This is pitiful. An out of touch drunk, someone who’s achieved nothing but went out of his way to hire two abusers, and a man who went out his way to defend a pedophile and turned his org into an alt right cesspool. JR is somehow putting the team in a worse position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 An extremely negative article breaks on Crain concerning the White two days ago, then yesterday - of all days - just happens to be the time they decide to fire Hahn and Williams? On a Tue? I’m willing to believe it was an attempt to distract from the relocation discussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand why so many thought an 87 year old was going to have some sort of monumental shift in how he operates. Why would anyone think they would do they right thing? My bad! Glad I wasn't strung along for a longer time. Hopefully he enjoys his stadium with a crowd of 1,000 in the stands. And if they move I just don't care anymore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Jerry probably talked to about 3 people to decide if he should replace KW/RH. Then hired one of them. Next lap dog up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
